In Ceremony with The Egyptian Blue Lotus-Sauna &Yurt journey

Welcome to The Old School Of Mysteries, a sacred sanctuary space for embodied experiential spirituality, dedicated to guiding you on a transformative spiritual journey. 

The Egyptian Blue Lotus Plant Ceremony is a truly unique mystical journey in the  Yurt with a sacred plant revered for its medicinal and spiritual qualities.

This ancient practise has deep spiritual roots, and together we will journey accompanied by the sacred plant as she seeks to inspire and uplift those who seek deeper understanding and connection with the divine.

We gather on the Half Moon, an auspicious time that represents the guidance of the divine on the path through life.

It is time to pause and ritualise gratitude through offerings to the divine and gathering in community, 

It is a time to reflect and journey into a deeper understanding of transformation and empowerment.

           WHAT AWAITS YOU?                   

A 5 hour soul journey infused with ancient mysteries.

Named the purification plant in the soul's journey in the Egyptian Book Of The Dead.

The Blue Lotus, "the dream flower", dies, decays and dissolves and is reborn daily as she emerges from the water and reaches for the light, she symbolises the spiritual journey of birth and death.

She honours all 4 elements and the entire cycle of life, the entire soul journey.

She has been a plant medicine for lucid dreaming for Egyptian, Mayan, Syrian and African cultures.

She knows how to hold your hand in ceremony and she says:

"Let your heart be bathed in the dreamlike waters of the soul,

Trust your intuition, your soul, your depth, 

Don't be afraid to bloom from the darkness,

bloom like me"

Your journey will weave these powerful practises into 

• Mantra chanting
• live drumming
• Meditation and breathwork
• Voice activation and Pranayama 
• Tea brewing
• Pipe smoking
• Embodiment practise for giving and receiving
• sauna scrub ritual
• Sauna
• stories from ancient Egypt and the Book Of The Dead 
• outdoor firepit and food sharing.

The Intention of this ceremony:

Presence, connection, nourishment, peace, relaxation, playfulness,

and deep reverence!

The Mystical Revered Blue lotus will accompany our journey, weaving her healing and lucid dreaming powers with our personal sense of empowerment and visionary abilities.

The prayer chants, the drumming, the breathwork, the guided meditation, the embodiment practises (we will explore two), will deepen your experience of this journey and will guide you into a deep relaxation and what is often experienced as a nourishing ecstatic trance.

The blue lotus is a powerful symbol with rich spiritual significance, used in ceremony for thousands of years, representing creation, death and rebirth, and divine connection. 

It is a sacred flower that bridges the material and spiritual worlds.

This is a journey

🪷 To create space for the mystical to unfold during the ceremony.

🪷 To create and hold a space for you to promote a deep sense of presence and facilitate the veil between the conscious and unconscious mind to thin through age old practises. 

🪷 This thinning veil enables you to experience the deep inner intuition and glimpses of insight into your own life.

This is an embodied experience

🪷 To connect you to your body in a present and loving way so that you can feel safe to release trauma barriers, and become receptive to deep inner messages and insights.

🪷 To help you experience the language of your bod and its connection to your mind so that you are facilitated in exploring your our own inner healing and mystical abilities.

This is an invitation

🪷 To carry on blooming post ceremony and into your life.

🪷 To contemplate that you have at your disposal a powerful way in which you can communicate and learn from the symbolic and spiritual world of plants to be guided deeper into your self enquiry.

This is a sacred space

🪷 For you to do the work in a container that promotes a feeling of safety and belonging and restores balance on a profound level.

A 3 hour journey in the womb of our ceremonial yurt, curated and facilitated in a way that explores multiple practises, all in aid in thinning the veil between the conscious and unconscious mind.  

• Shamanic Drumming to aid with the guided meditation as we journey into a 5 senses reality experience with the Blue Lotus.
• Mantra chanting with live music to awaken the throat chakra and activate your sound, an essential practise for healing trauma and balancing the nervous system. This practise will also introduce you to a ritual you can introduce into your own home spiritual practise, your Sadhana.

• Pipe smoking as a means to communicate with the plant and honour age old indigenous practises.
• Guided meditation to harness the dream and visionary power of the Blue Lotus.
• Closing the ceremony with a burial ritual of the steeped lotus leaves and the ashes from the pipe. This symbolises honouring and gratitude by returning the plant back to the earth.
